3. While the peaches are heating up, in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and the other cup of sugar. Then add the milk and whisk, followed by the vanilla extract, and mix until a smooth batter forms. 
4. Melt the butter and pour it into a 13×9 baking dish. Pour the batter over the butter, but don't stir it in. 
5. After the pot of peaches boils, carefully pour the mixture over the peach cobbler batter in the pan. Gently spread out the peaches. Sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg, if desired. 
6. Bake the peach cobbler for 35 to 45 minutes until nice and golden brown. 
7. Allow it to cool, then serve it up plain or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
